So too are Erling Haaland's Red Bull Salzburg and Benfica.But a tasty fixture against Scottish giants Rangers is on the cards after Steven Gerrard's men finished second in Group G to Porto. United are unbeaten against Gers in Europe, winning three of their Champions League clashes against the Scots. The last time the pair faced off was in 2010 when … [Read more...] about Man Utd could face Rangers, Roma or Sporting Lisbon in Europa League last-32 after dodging giants Ajax and Inter Milan
